What is For The King like?

Three adventurers cross a board together, roll dice in combat, and split the gold among you.

Up to three of you travel a map of hexagonal tiles as adventurers, take on quests and fight in turn-based combat decided partly by dice rolls, and split the gold and items you find. Each run generates new maps, quests and events, so a campaign lasts several hours. On one PC or console you share the screen and take turns, and online also holds three. Online play on consoles needs the platform subscription, and the game has no crossplay between consoles.
